InstallAware

Are you not allowed to use target folders when setting other variables? I have the block below



In the first line the folder is created in the expected location but when I set the variables in the next two lines they show up in the message box with $COMMONAPPDATAFOLDER$ to start instead of the value that should replace it. I have this block near the beginning of my projects main msicode script.

Dear Sol952,

the "Create Folder" command is a "Windows Installer Command" (PURPLE COMMANDS), due of this the command doesn't get executed immediately (...before the "MessageBox" statement) but instead, its effective execution is deferred to "Apply Install" execution.

That said;

- Are you sure that your COMMONAPPDATAFOLDER variable gets initialized before the "MessageBox" statement?

Ah. Ok that's why the create folder was working with that variable but the set variable wasn't. Thank you
